Software:
1. A51 Macro Assembler for the 8051 from Keil Software. Available on selected
machines in the lab or you may download a student version from
http://www.keil.com/demo/. The assembler is part of the C51 C Compiler tools
listed below.
2. C51 C Compiler for the 8051 from Keil Software. The professional version is
available on selected machines in the lab. Alternatively, you may download the most
recent student version from http://www.keil.com/ choose Evaluation
Software under downloads and click on C51 tools. Fill out the registration form. The
demo version includes complete manuals.
3. CA ARM C Compiler for the ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller from Keil Software.
You may download the most recent student version from
http://www.keil.com/ choose Evaluation Software under downloads and
click on ARM Tools. Fill out the registration form. The demo version includes
manuals.
Hardware:
1. Each student will need a 3-wide solderless breadboard for project construction. These
are available through the stockroom or you can use the one that was required for EE
210/215.
2. Printed circuit boards for the Atmel AT89C51CC03 and the ARM Cortex M4
Discovery Board will be used for projects. The 8051 board is available through the
EE Department office and the Discovery board can be purchased online.
There will be 3 hour exams, graded homework projects, and a 2 hour comprehensive final exam.
The homework will count 24%, the final will count 22%, and the 3 hour exams will count 18%
